I'm now officially moved into my apartment in the city and it's lovely, though still a bit of a mess. I have more or less everything I need for an apartment except...(yes, this is going to sound ridiculous) chairs. I have no chairs. I have bookcases and desks and even a futon, but I don't have a chair to sit at either my mini dining table nor my work table. In light of this, I went out today and got a couple of leather folding chairs from DWR. They weren't too badly priced (though I wouldnt' exactly peg them at a steal, either) and they're comfortable - sufficiently so to eat dinner and to lounge around with friends in. I was also wondering whether I should buy another task chair for my desk considering these folding chairs have no arms and aren't as cushy as I'd like a desk chair to be. I'll see, though, in light of this ever-present state of poverty-due-to-rent-check, I will have to consider and pare down what I buy for this place. That I will be living here for the next couple of years is somewhat reassuring, though.

I'm absolutely exhausted from both moving in and moving things around and up stairs all weekend long so now I'm just lying lazily in front of the computer. When I'm up to it I'm going to hook my speakers up so that I can get some good music playing (or maybe just Law and Order at extremely high volume).

I miss my friends and with Ganges and Flake going off to Paris this year, it's going to be a bit suckier for sure...but then again, it also means I get to spend time with other people whom I almost never get to spend time with and I suppose that's a silver lining. For now, though, I'm going to unpack the rest of these damn boxes...

Pictures to come, once everything is sorta set up.

And a late addition: FUCKER i left my Kundera collection and most of my Steinbeck at home....fuck.
